This event honors Egon J. Salmon (1924 - 2022), who came to Staten Island as a German-Jewish refugee after being refused entry due to strict U.S. Immigration Laws. He later served the U.S. Army in World War II. As President of the Staten Island Board of Realtors, and throughout his life, Egon Salmon contributed to NYC business and Jewish-American life.
